The mummified remains of a woman discovered on a mountain in the Andes have been identified as a climber whose body disappeared 41 years ago.
Marta Emilia Altamirano, better known as Patty, tragically died during an expedition in the Andes in March 1981.
The 20-year-old woman had slipped on ice at an altitude of around 5,000 metres, causing her to fall hundreds of metres to her death — according to her sister who had accompanied her.
